mrbeige 0 Posted July 17, 2008 Report Share Posted July 17, 2008 that list will cometo 2 grand+ lol should maybe have spent an extra 500 and got one modded...think this has already been said....It has mate indeed, but we were in need of a car quick, following the last one getting written off by some d1ck in a 7.5 tonne lorry and we were on a very limited budget, so our primary target was to get a nice clean un-modified one, specifically OBD2, and that is what we got (we think lol)I do agree though mate, another £500 quid might have got us something already modified, but we didn't have the £500....
